Song of the Day 2/22: Bill Evans, “Peace Piece”
I don’t know all that much about the situation in the Ukraine, and if you’re honest about it neither do you. I just think that the fewer innocent people who die over all this, the better. Bill Evans was so fucking great that he just sat at the piano after a recording session for his […]

DL Open Thread Tuesday February 22nd 2022
Putin’s pretext for invading Ukraine is every bit as flimsy and based on ego as our pretext for invading Iraq in 2003. President Vladimir Putin railed against Ukraine in a televised address on Monday, saying that neo-Nazis were on the rise, oligarchic clans were rife and that the ex-Soviet country was a U.S. colony with […]
Russia Invades Ukraine
The independent republics recognized today by Vladimir Putin, are located inside of Ukraine. This is the invasion of Ukraine under the guise of a peacekeeping operation.
Terrible news. I have the same sick feeling I had when we invaded Iraq under a completely fraudulent pretenses.
Watch The State Of Corrections In Delaware Summit Tom’w And Weds.
Sen. Marie Pinkney and Rep. Mimi Minor-Brown are holding a virtual State Of The State Of Corrections In Delaware Summit this Tuesday and Wednesday. If you look at the linked agenda, this appears to be quite the ambitious and well thought-out program. Ideal for both newcomers to the issue and for policy wonks. Sessions will […]
Song of the Day 2/21: The Presidents of the United States of America, “Lump”
The second-biggest hit for the only band fit to play on Presidents Day, a No. 1 hit on the Modern Rock chart in 1995. They got the record’s sound by playing two guitars with a total of five strings between them, instruments frontman/composer/bassist Chris Ballew and guitarist Dave Dederer called them a “basitar” (two strings) […]
DL Open Thread Monday February 21 2022
Welcome to the 8th week of 2022. I know. It feels like the 88th week, right? Did Russia invade last night? I’m typing this at 10:00 pm EST (That’s 5:00 am in Kyiv.) Prior to jumping into the open thread, here are a couple of things to put on your “to do” list for this week: […]
Wholly Dumbed Down
“Is the law confusing? Or is Trump maybe not smart enough to understand that taking classified documents out of the White House is illegal?” That’s not spin. That’s from an NPR host this weekend struggling to come up with some exculpatory explanation for Trump’s crimes.
Song of the Day 2/20: The Association, “Windy”
Here’s a symptom of climate change you don’t hear about much in the States: destructive hurricane-force winter winds of more than 120 mph. There’s plenty of video to prove it. Suffice it to say this didn’t used to happen. Though they’re not much heard today, The Association was all the rage in the days of […]

The Trumpiest Item Of The Day. Yep, he’s negotiating with the Saudis for them to underwrite at least two yu-u-u-ge golf tourneys at his ailing clubs. The golfers? Multi-millionaires who don’t think they’re getting paid enough by the PGA. Headed by Greg Norman, who uses the typical ‘I’m not a politician’ line to justify forming […]

Trump’s MAGA PAC Subsidized Empty Office Space In Trump Towers. The $$’s were supposed to go to Junior Trumps: “It’s a huge scam,” said one former aide with direct knowledge of Trump’s political spending. “I can’t believe his base lets him get away with it.” (He’s kidding, right?) After the 2020 election, the Trump presidential […]
Bow Down to My Geography Greatness
TBH – I didn’t know it for sure. That was a bit of a lucky guess. I was just going for a southern/central (continent) country to reset in that part of the world. But yeah…I’m hooked YOU BASTARD!!
